anyone know of a site selling these? I'm about to put together a Shuttle for a friend and would like to move up to this one if possible. Right now I'm probly gonna go with the Intel model.

They rule...forgive the @!$! white bezel rom. I'm working on it.

Oh and I lost my 3.5 bay cover plate...sigh. If anybody buys a shuttle, and fills their 3.5 bay, I'll buy the bezel cover from ya.

So thats what those cone/boobie things are for. Feet.. I figred that but the case already had feet on them, and I only had two boob things.. Whats the deal? Wheres the boobies? hehe sorry, had too..:scream:

A friend said there are dual drives in Japan, they have a dvd slot and a CDRW tray, all in one 5.25 bay. Know where you can find one of those? That would make the new cube a hands down replacement for me..

Reviews of the new child.

I kinda of like the older design better myself. I wonder if the new board would fit in the old cases.

I read on a shuttle forum that the new nforce2 XPC boards will be available in a month or so, and that they are compatible with the newer shuttles already out there. Specific models were not quoted, but there will be a limited amount of upgradability.
